A subscription to The New York Times Crossword gives users access to the
daily puzzle online and in its iPhone, iPad, and Android apps, as well
as access to all puzzles in its archive, including acrostics and variety
puzzles. As part of the “Play Anywhere” feature, Crossword subscribers
can continue playing the same puzzle across different devices and on the
web on NYTimes.com
at any time.

"The New York Times Crossword has been featuring great puzzles by
constructors for over 75 years. In the last two years we've focused on
highlighting the daily delights and aha moments of the puzzle to a
broader audience," said Eric C. von Coelln, Executive Director, Puzzles.
“With the introduction of the bite-size 5x5 Mini puzzle, launching an
Android-native solving experience alongside our iOS and web offerings,
and by focusing on helping users learn to solve, the puzzle has become
the daily ritual for millions of solvers."

The New York Times Crossword attracts more than two million solvers to
the digital puzzles each month. In 2014, The Times launched the 5x5 Mini
puzzle, followed by the launch of the 9x9 Mini puzzle in its iOS and
Android apps, both serving as stepping
stones to the daily puzzle.

The Times continues to introduce new audiences to Crosswords and is
constantly looking for new opportunities to provide solvers with
meaningful gaming experiences that add to the value of their
subscription. In early May, The Times introduced “Spelling
Bee,” a new daily word puzzle game that asks players to spell words
from a collection of letters that are placed in a "hive"-like formation,
available to Crossword & All Access subscribers.
